Are you getting a good Relationship ROI, or are you just operating in chaos? This week, Kiki and Medinah discuss the importance of intentionality—from your wellness routine to your brunch dates. We’re diving into why separated checks at a bottomless mimosa brunch might actually be the ultimate green flag for clarity.

In This Episode: The ladies discuss the transition from "brunch friends" to "real life" support and why Medinah appreciated a guy friend being 100% upfront about financial boundaries. We also get into the "weird sex" story of the week: a romantic shower that turned into an Olympic sport when the curtain rod gave up. Plus, Kiki talks about the struggle of people always "outsourcing" their work to her—from party planning to free makeup sessions.

We also cover:

• Intentional Health: Why your "Relationship ROI" starts with your own rest and wellness.
  
  
  
• The "Ghost" Eyebrow Incident: Why you should always have a backup makeup artist.
  
  
• Advice: Navigating a friendship that went cold during a season of grief and new motherhood.
